The Jaffar Express consisting of 10 bogeys moved from Macch Railway Station. As many as 170 passengers were boarding the train.  The train service from Balochistan to other provinces known as the Jaffar Express had been suspended on August 25 due to the collapse of a part of the railway bridge near Harak area in Bolan.
